    I must admit, I'd given up looking for, and any hope of ever getting another P8 update - it was on GRA_L09C432B398. But, turned it on this morning to see it demanding a restart after having automatically downloaded and installed an OTA update to GRA_L09C432B520. Rebooted and following an...

    Thread Iliumsoft Dockware - memory leak

    Just a heads up to others: For some time now, I've been bothered by a memory leak, so severe that a soft-reboot was necessary at least every three days - otherwise even running a new applet would cause the XDA Exec to freeze at about 5MB left. Despite removing all my major applications, nothing...

    Thread o2 car solution - anyone have this yet?

    Has anyone been brave enough to order the Exec "car solution" from o2? Looking for a picture and description of the cradle as there's little info on o2's site. From what is there, I suspect it may attach to the air vents, but couldn't see why a goose neck would be needed for that. o2 sales...

    Thread Calendar - Changing working-week days and hours

    This registry hack probably applies to other models as well as the Universal. By default, the working-week Days and Hours shown in Pocket Outlook by a different colour are set to Monday through Friday and 08:00 to 17:00-hrs. I needed a modification for a client with a weird working week (Mon...

    Thread GPSDash2 - moving to Storage Card

    First post to this forum, so hopefully I won't tread on anyone's toes. Having moved from a three year old HP Jornada 928, I'm currently trying out utilities to see what does or doesn't work on the O2 XDA Exec & WM5. To verify correct operation of my Holux GPSlim236 bluetooth receiver - before...
